12 year old son with focus problems

My 12 year old has trouble focusing. will get distracted from task easily with anyone around even when it is a very focused situation that he choses to be in. He moves from one task to the next and has no interest staying connected with people. He is very small for his age with pale skin that is slightly yellow in color. He has circle under his eye and he rubs his nose a lot even though he doesn't say that it itches. He bites hi nails and sucks on his fingers. He doesn't have a lot of mucus. He has a good appetite but has lose stools that come out in pieces. He is not interested in people except when he is talking about something he is interested in. He speaks fast and loudly and doesn't pause to hear any response. He is very bright and retains information.

I am a family physician in NYC and I am interested in learning homeopathy to add to my practice. Thanks so much for any help with his case.

Hi Nikkie,
thanks so much for your reply. I am answering for my son who is 12 so I will do the best I can.
1) He is 12 years old 4ft 10 inches and 80 pounds. He is very lean with well defined muscles He doesn't have an ounce of fat on him and we are a chubby family. He is very short when we are on the tall side and is growing at a very slow rate. He was born small with two vessels in his chord and had been on growth hormone for a year yearly on.
2) The main chief complaint is lack of focus even when he is doing something he loves. He also has a certain detachment from people from early on. He will ride his bike and keep going and never look back. He is extremely bright and has a brain for details and statistics. He is disorganized and drops everything without noticing it's there and never picks it up. not aware of any personal hygeine.
3) this has been going on his whole live.
4) He was born with severe hypothyroidism which completely corrected itself with a small dose of synthroid and now he isn't on anym medications.
5) under duress when we went to the hospital his blood sugar was very high but it is otherwise normal.
6) Adam has leaky gut syndrome with small ulcerations in his small intestine and eiosinophilic esophagitis. he never complains of pain though. He always has lose stools that come out in pieces. normal color and no blood or mucus. never constipated.
8) normal thirst.
9) sweats slightly on forehead. says that he is 30 degrees warmer than anyone else and doesn't usually take a coat.
10) stress low, Adam is homeschooled and we are fairly relaxed.
11) gets normal sleep and isn't awake often
12)not applicable.
13) adam had prior hyptothyroidism.
He also had metabolic acidosis and was bi-citra. Hi blood is still acidotic but improved and not on any medications. He also has a high eoisinophil count and has lacks another type of immune cell which I have to look up. He is otherwise healthy and has never needed an antibiotic. He used to have a bad case of croup and would cough every night. He is always rubbing his nose but doesn't complain of congestion. his skin is sallow with a yellow hue.
13) he is very active and is very big on his little league team. He just was chosen for the tournament team and played in a memorial day tournament.
he has a very good appetitite and will eat anything. he mostly is interested in real food and not sugar.

He has been on synthroid and bicitra.
I just gave him Cinna 30 two tablets the other day and I am waiting. Please tell me what you think?

Thanks for your interest and support.

Sounds like this boy has worms. He need a remedy called 'Cina.'

that is exactly what I have been thinking. I had given him Cina when I was looking up his symptoms but I don't know how to continue. I gave him cina 30c two tablets one time on Sunday which was two days ago. He already has stopped biting his nails and is looking more focused. How long do I wait and do I need to give him another dose? Our family has been treated for pinworms but I am sure we still have them. He had negative stool studies for other parasites. Do you think that I should use an allopathic medication as well like mebendazole?

I feel very torn in both an allopathic and naturopathic world. Thanks for your help

I think the best procedure is to wait and see. If you have observed an improvement, it may be that Cina is the right remedy. Do not mix homeopathy and allopati together, then you will not know what it was that did the trick. If you want to give him this allopathic remedy at a later date, when the homeopathic treatment is completed, it is quite ok.
Mix 3-4 pills in a glass with some water, give him a teaspoon of this water three times a day. Remember to stir around in the water each time, with a clean teaspoon, every time. Place a lid on the glass, or plastic wrap. Put it in the refrigerator.
Do you have the opportunity to watch the stool, and his underwear. Well you're a doctor, then you probably know the procedure. :) Do not give more than 10 doses. After that you must either provide a higher potence, or some other remedy. We'll see what happens.
( Tablets, 2-3 in water)

thanks so much for your reply. I will start the cina 30c. 3 tablets in glass with water and three tablespoons a day for up to 10 doses. When do I stop?

How should the rest of the family be treated?
 
nneretin last decade
When you see a good improvement, do not give more, but wait and see. Have other family members symptoms of parasites?
It is said that there is a benefit that everyone takes a parasite cure, maybe you could use a conventional medicine for parasites? But wait until your son has gone through homeopathic treatment. After that, all use the same parasite cure, included your son. Sounds like a good plan?

How is it with his energy level?

My daughter and I have typical symptoms with itching at night but my husband and son don't. I assume that we all have it.

I will give the rest of the family Mebendazole for the pinworms and let my son use the homeopathic remedy.


Hi energy level is amazing. He is very active but can also ramp down and sleep well.

Tell me when you feel that it is too much for the forum and we can figure out a separate arrangement.
Thanks so much
Nikki
